Mr.. Thomas f. Lamb read a paper last
evening detailing his visit to several of the
gem-beari1g Localities Of Maine. Mt Mica
in Paris Aaslong been noted for its tourma-
iinls~rand still maintains its reputation
though in some years the yield has been
light aud discouraging. Very fine tourma-
lines from Mt Apatite in Auburn have been
found as recently as 1882; since which time
numbers of valuable cabinet specimens and
gems have been blasted out. Working par
ties there also have at times been discouraged
and have abandoned the field to more for
tunate explorers. Amethysts have been
found in quantities in the town of Stow in
pockets of the rock and also in the loose soil.
In the adjoining town Of Stoneham the topaz
was found in 1888 for tho first time noticed
in Maine, and the specimens were the best
yet discovered in the United States.
Beryl is also found here; nearly $1,000
worth of specimens suitable for cutting into
gems have been taken out.
Norway and Rumford are also towns con-
tanning gem-bearing rocks and Mr.. Lamb is
confident that there are very many other
places as yet undiscovered within our State
where valuable minerals and gems will be
found.
in the discussion which followed Mr..
Lambs paper Prof. Lee of Bowdoin College
spoke of the finding of great quantities Of
black tourmalines of no value in st. Law
renee county, New York. Other members
have found them in great numbers in Paris
Hill, Phipsburg and Great Island, Harps-
well. The remarks of all the speakers show
ed that the interest in minerals and gems is
certainly not waning

A Glorious Republican Victory.

The election yesterday resulted in sur
prise all round. 1t was well known that the
Democrats were making extraordinary eff
forts, not only to elect Mr.. Mccarthy mayor
but also. if it was possible thing to
capture a majority of the Council The
Argus informed its readers that now was the
time to pluck the pear, for 1t was dead ripe
When the returns came in not only were the
Republicans astonished but the Democrats
beavers only to roll up majority in their
two wards that was less than has been given
In years when no struggle has been made.
The Republicans did nobly. The majorities
in the several Republican wards read like
old times. The old banner ward, three,
came ont with an old fashioned majority.
Ward one that is considered doubtful. had
no doubts yesterday as the figures will show.
And this grand result was reached on day
when the streets were so blocked with snow
that travelling was very difficult. The vote
too, in spite Of the storm, was the largest
ever cast at a municipal election in Portland.
In 1886 the total vote was $50 and Mr.
Chapman's majority was zoos. This year
the total vote is 6,63S, and Mr.. Chapman's
majority is 94S, and his plurality l,243
There was not any excitement about the
election in the ward-rooms Voters went
and cast their votes and left the ward-rooms
to go about their business. The only matter
of moment apparently to many was the
vote on the removal of the old Market Hail.
The ballots Eyes" and mo" on the monument

wore the different ballots in their hats to en-
courage their followers. Men were met all
over the city proudly wearing the ballot of
their respective choice. In all the ward
rooms, in addition to the poster put up by
the city authorities announcing the signif-
canoe of the ballot the opponents of Market
Square had the following conspicuously dis
played:
Citizens of Portland Preserve the city
property. Protect the public treasury. Keep
the taxes down and have soldiers monu-
lnent besides. In order 10 accomplish this, a

by the removal of Old City Hall for this
purpose. Ii you wish to secure a monument

Successful Exhibition and Ball Last
Evening.

The much talked of and long awaited ex-
hibition of the Portland Turnverein took
place at City Hall last evening. Fully 1000
people were present. The stage had been
enlarged, and with the windows heavily
draped, and Indian clubs and boxing gloves
neatly arranged upon the central pillars pre-
sented tasty appearance. At the rear lof
the hall, parlors had been elegantly fitted up
for the reception of guests and those who
wished to indulge in whist.
The exhibition itself exceeded the hopes
of even the most sanluine friends of the in
stitution. The following gentlemen took
part in the exercises: Instructor, Mr.. j.
Everett Doldt; Director, Edward l.. Smith;
F. o. Haskell, Leon Riggs, G. L. Morton,
John Bishop, W. G. King, j. A. Dickson,
George MACEDONIAN, B. d. Ridlon, L. B.
Laughlin, FL. Hannaford, II. E. Cromwell,
w. II. Dyer j. B. Moore, Sam Stark, II. d.
Bedlow, G. C. Orr, II. A. Rounds, G. II. Par
sons, C. G. Gould, j. L. McAleney, f. ?. Kra
rur, y. +. Dean.
The performance commenced with vault
ing, and from height of four feet the bar
was gradually raised to over six; and even
this extremely difficult vault was easily ac-
complished by most of the class This was
followed by the horizontal bars, in which
many complex yet artistic and graceful feats
were accomplished. Rounds of applause
succeeded nearly every act. In fact the
audience was never weary of showing their
interest and approval. Then came the fly
ing rings, when Messrs. Doldt, Orr, Dyer,
Dickson, Bishop and Riggs won new laurels.
The one-arm draw by Mr.. Dyer and the fly
ing cutoff by Mr.. Orr were especially appre-
ciated.
The dumb bell exercise was next on the
programme. The lights were turned down
the music ceased, and the whole class of
twenty-six went through the "silent
manual" their movements being made in
perfect unison. The parallel bars were then
occupied by Messrs. Smith, Haskell, Laugh
lin, Riggs and Hannaford.
The indian club exercise, led by Mr.. Ed
ward L. Smith, won many we'll deserved
plaudits. Indeed it was this class work
which showed the most thorough physical
training of the members.
Then came the class frolics-and many a
laughable trick was performed
The ladders came next and the symmetri-
cal arrangements of the actors, in all sorts of
difficult positions drew forth renewed ex-
pressions of praise.
The pyramids and the special club swing
ing act of Mr.. Granville r. Lee, concluded
the exhibition.
Everything passed off smoothly and by ten
o'clock the hundred and seventy-fve couples
were in line and the grand march begun.
The music under the direction of Mr.. M. b.
Gilbert was of an excellence seldom heard
here

exercises were the famous Schubert
Quartette of this city who were repeatedly
recalled, Mrs. c. II. Pratt and Mrs. Z. c.
Gardner, both in solos and duets, delighting
their hearers They were recalled, as was
also Prof. +. ID. Smart the whistling soloist,
whose unique performance gave the greatest
satisfaction. Two readers, somewhat new
to Portland audiences, Miss Jennie E. Rey-
nolds and Miss Nettie A. Webb, pleased the
audience with their choice selections which
were admirably rendered. They were obliged
to respond to encores. Mr.. John W. Wood
